    How to Report Domestic Abuse

    If you are in immediate danger, call 999. The police can:

    • Provide emergency assistance
    • Issue warnings to the perpetrator
    • Arrest and charge the abuser if necessary

    Even if you are not in immediate danger, you should still report domestic abuse to the police. The law is there to protect you.

    Legal Protections Available

    Our solicitors can help you apply for legal protections, including:

    Non-Molestation Orders

    A court-issued injunction preventing the abuser from:

    • Contacting you directly or indirectly
    • Threatening, intimidating, or harassing you
    • Coming near your home or workplace

    Occupation Orders

    If you need to stay in your home and exclude the abuser, an Occupation Order can:

    • Remove them from the property
    • Prevent them from returning
    • Ensure your safety at home

    In urgent cases, injunctions can be issued on the same day. Breaching these orders can result in arrest and imprisonment.

    Children and Domestic Abuse

    Domestic violence can have severe emotional and psychological effects on children. If children witness or experience abuse, they need immediate protection.

    • The court can restrict contact between a child and an abusive parent
    • Any future contact will be subject to careful assessment
    • The child’s best interests and safety will always come first

    If an abusive parent wants to re-establish contact, the court will evaluate:

    • Past behaviour of both parents
    • Motivation for seeking contact
    • Impact of abuse on the child
    • Steps taken by the abusive parent to change their behaviour
